Microfinance: Where are we today and where should the research go in the future?
这篇评论回顾了小额信贷在促进创业和减贫方面的贡献与局限，指出了现有研究空白，并为未来研究提出了方向，适合关注小额信贷影响的研究者阅读。
Over the past two decades, there have been substantial efforts to expand the impact of microfinance around the world, especially in emerging economies. This commentary and Special Issue of International Small Business Journal, seeks to better the understanding of both the contributions and limitations of microfinance in terms of fostering entrepreneurship and economic development. Specifically, we review prior research to understand whether and how microfinance can help to encourage entrepreneurial activity as well as to reduce poverty. We then highlight the gaps in the existing literature and lay out an agenda for future research in this domain.
